Over the years, the Villa has been carefully taken care of without disturbing its Moroccan origin of the shaded courtyard as well as the aromatic garden laded with the beautiful bougainvillaea bushes. The swimming pool is framed by craftily designed wooden decks, the lounge and dining room has an elegant and soothing ambience and the bedrooms are comfortable and fitted with all the necessary modern amenities.
